Independence is something we will be striving to instill in our daughter. Not the kind that makes her think she needs no one and relies only on herself, but rather the kind that helps her to see how wonderful she has been created, and that who she is is not dependent on other people, but rather on her Creator and how much she allows that to influence her life. Christopher and I both believe that a strong understanding of who you are created to be will determine a truely happy and fulfilled life, which is what we most want for our daughter.
Well, that is the philisophical view on her independence, and then there is the practicality of learning new things and doing things on her own...Like tonight, when she scooted (still not crawling in the traditional sense) to the Excersaucer and pulled herself up from a laying position to full on standing, with no adult safety net behind her. Doesn't she look proud of herself, as she smiles up at her daddy (off camera)! Our little "One Girl Army" is ready to conquer the world, or at least the Excersaucer.
